About This Item
London: Otto Ltd, 1902. First edition (hardback). Folio (41cm by 29cm), 10pp. 8 colour plates, 7 of which are mounted on grey art card and protected by tissues, plus one on the front cover (now bound in at the back of this copy). Rebound in half burgundy morocco, purple cloth boards, gilt titling to the spine, with the original printed card wrappers bound in at the back. This copy was formerly in a reference library, with a blindstamp to the upper corner of the text pages and the mounts for the plates, the binding is a little rubbed, and there is some thumbing of the text pages. Nonetheless, the book is tightly bound and the plates are in very good condition, and this is a good plus copy overall.
